He tightens the ropes around her wrist. She's naked on the bed. "Nervous?" he asks.
She stares up at the mirror on the ceiling, tries for a smile, but she can't ignore the clench in her gut. After all, he hasn't actually told her what he plans to do. He's just promised that she'll like it.
"Let's try a little visualization to help you relax," he says. He positions himself behind her on the bed, kneeling over her prone form, her head between his knees. He puts his hands on her arms, rubs up and down. She closes her eyes, trying to relax in his grip. "Picture two cylinders, like bamboo rods, but lighter and thinner. Firm and long." His voice is deep, slow, soothing despite the absurdity of the imagery.
She can't help but give a skeptical chuckle. "What?"
"Just try it," he urges, squeezing her forearms.
She does. Two cylinders, floating in empty space. Cool. Very sexy, sure.
"They're hollow and empty. Sitting next to each other at, let's say a forty-five degree angle. Like a V."
Her lips twitch, threatening to let loose another laugh.
And yet...
She finds her body relaxing nonetheless, and a tingle running down her legs, which shudder suddenly. She thinks maybe they're getting restless and tries to stretch them out.
But she can't. No matter how hard she tries, she can't move her legs.
She opens her eyes and tries to lean forward.
"Look up," he says. "You'll get a much better view that way."
"A better view of what?" She looks at her reflection in the mirror, and after a moment, realizes what seems off about it. "What's wrong with my legs?"
"Nothing's wrong with them," he says in that same soothing tone. "They're beautiful."
"They're...but they're..." They're smooth. Shiny. An almost unnatural pinkish-beige tone that doesn't quite match the rest of her skin. Plastic, she realizes.
"Perfect," he finishes for her. It's definitely not the word she would have used, but somehow, she can't argue. The word means without flaws, and what flaws are there now? She doesn't even have toenails anymore.
She blinks. Shakes her head. "No. They're not mine."
"Is that your only complaint?" he asks with a chuckle.
No, of course it's not. She has so many. She should have so many. This is strange. This is wrong. His face in the mirror is patient, waiting for her rebuttal.
But she can't even think of any, despite being certain they exist. It's like all the reasons for her legs to not be made of plastic existed inside her legs themselves, but they're now hollow and empty.
"There, you see?" he says, when her mouth shuts without further protests. He slides off the bed and moves around to the other end, runs his hand along her legs. "Empty."
Empty. Empty.
For some reason, that word feels profoundly important to her.
She can feel it. His hands, along her...skin? It has to be her skin; she can feel it. Not only can she feel it, but it electrifies her, creates a lightning bolt of pleasure that goes from her ankles all the way up to her pussy, which, if the mirror is any indication, is still made of human skin.
"Ohhh..." The sound that comes out of her is involuntary, quiet, a betrayal from her deepest core. He grins up at the mirror to look at her, all teeth, wide and predatory.
He lifts her legs, and she can do nothing to stop him. Then he pries them apart, as wide as they can go until they're almost one long line, stretching the skin of her pussy, increasing the pressure, and she is unable to keep herself from moaning again, her head pulling back.
He strikes them together, like he's playing an instrument.
"Ohhh...oh fuck, oh fuck." The dull
clap
, more like a bump, ripples through her, momentarily erasing all thought from her head to make way for ecstasy and the energy to whimper and moan endlessly. Her wrists writhe, testing the limits of the bindings keeping her tied to the bed. She's not sure if she's trying to escape, though she knows she should try. But fuck, it feels...oh God.
"I...I need to go," she manages to get out, her voice shaking. "I need to--"
"Go where?" he asks, smirking. "With these legs?" He knocks on one of them, and she moans again. Her clit is on fire.
"No." No, obviously, there'd be no walking on plastic legs. But her legs aren't plastic, can't be. This is some kind of hypnosis, or he's drugged her and she's hallucinating, or--
"Relax," he says. "You're struggling too much. Going to hurt yourself. Think of those cylinders again."
She feels a tingle in her arms, something too familiar.
No. No.
